Half-Life 2: Orange

[-smash-]

[br]No, it's not some newly announced title Valve has been developing for years. It's actually the name for the bundled versions of Episode Two for the next-generation game consoles.[br]The Episode Two bundle for game console platforms, containing Half-Life 2, both Episodes One & Two, Team Fortress 2 and Portal, shall now be referred to Half-Life 2: Orange. Because Half-Life 2 was already released to the Xbox a few years ago, this should help clear up any confusions among regular consumers regarding which game is which. Though, expect the PC title to retain its original name.[br]Thanks to 1UP.com for the info!

You can see Valve have been working hard on the title for this bundle.

*Valve employee sees an orange on the table*

From this day on. we'll call it "Half-Life 2: Orange"

*Gabe clapping*

Genius.

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Nice package idea to reach the console masses, not sure about the name though, but I'll help Valve out, I've even made a nice logo.

Coming to your Steam games list soon

 

[Insano]

Won't uninformed people just think it's an upgraded version of HL2?

 

[Beerdude26]

A Half-Life Orange? :O

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

Cool.

Do oranges have a Half - Life?

 

[jondy]

No, because if they did, there'd always be a tiny bit of unsafe orange left.

I don't think such people would know what it was regardless of the name.

 

[Asuka]

We already knew this. Its been confirmed many times.

 

[Evo]

Mmmm Oranges!

 

[Drackard]

We already knew this. Its been confirmed many times.

ADD kids won't see appeal in such a name, my suggestion

HL2 Future Warfare : Vengeance

this is from nov. its called orange box.

Question: Since you are adding these two games to Half-Life 2: Episode 2 can you tell us if the price of Episode 2 will remain $19.95?
Answer: We?re targeting Summer 2007 for release of these games. On the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3, they will come in a package simply known as Half-Life 2 Orange Box. On the PC, there will be a pack that contains just Episode Two, Portal and Team Fortress 2 ? this pack will be called Half-Life 2 Black Box. Final pricing has not yet been determined.

LOL..

I think Valve should set in motion major hype like Half-Life 2 for Half-Life 3. That will kick all the console games ass!

 

[CyberPitz]

Ha, the PC gets a better name for it.

 

[eAi]

Is that their picture? Its not even a piece of orange, its something like a tangerine...

It's my picture. And it is part of an orange.

 

[Steel.Inferno]

Orange doesn't refer to the fruit, it refers to the color regardless. Orange is the "official" color of HL, for the lambda symbol and such.

Sounds like a great buy, if I wasn't a PC gamer of course.

 

[Steven]

That was a mandarine lawlz

 

[Darkwolf]

It may be a long shot... but this isn't going out to the Wii is it?

 

[2Fast4U]

It may be a long shot... but this isn't going out to the Wii is it?

It isn't.

Half-Life 2 : Agent Orange

 

[Remus]

No worse uninformed people will just think it's a new mobile phone from Orange:cheese: .

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Which breaks in half the time...

FORUMS WORST JOKE EVER COURTESY OF ME.

 

[ríomhaire]

Didn't Valve say that the Orange box would be released on the PC and consoles and that the Black box was PC only?

 

[Jintor]

Half-Life: WiiKill

 

[Darkwolf]

It isn't.

Damn

 

[xirow]

Didn't Valve say that the Orange box would be released on the PC and consoles and that the Black box was PC only?

Yes, they did.

Do oranges have a Half - Life?

Technically they do because everything is slightly radioactive.

 

[ríomhaire]

Technically they do because everything is slightly radioactive.

D:
Even oxygen?!

DAMN YOU OXYGEN! I BELIEVED IN YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY MY *slits neck*

 

[Narvi]

DAMN YOU OXYGEN! I BELIEVED IN YOU AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY MY *slits neck*

Just because something is radioactive doesn't mean it will decay. So no, oxygen don't have a half-life. It's quite stable.

EDIT: And yes, I have no sense of humour.

 

[PriNcE oF SpAcE]

I'm 98% sure that's not an orange in the picture but a clementine(or whatever u guys call it) it's very amateurish!

 

[m00b]

I like apples more than oranges... Will there be HL2:Apple? :cheese:

 

[-smash-]

It's a piece of a ****ing orange taking out of its ****ing skin.


****.

 

[Wesisapie]

its not an orange mate. oranges arent segmented like that. ever actually eaten fruit before?

 

[Mahalis]

Heheh. Half-Life 2: Clementine.
That could almost be a cool name.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

Half Life 2: Satsuma edition

 

[polyguns]

great idea, hope they don't screw up and try to charge too much money. I think 60 would be a good price for this one.

 

[Mahalis]

Was Episode One ever released for console, or is this the first time?
